Y. NJ. c. AS CONCERT.
Tho Opening Entertainment in ODD
Fellows Hall Last Night.

The entertainment given by the Ladies'
Auxiliary Committee of the Young
Mems Christian Association at Odd Fell
lows Hall last night was in every way a
success. 1t was the first time the new
hall has been seen by the public, and al
though it was not crowded there was not
seating capacity for the large audience,
and many were compelled to stand.
The hall, of itself architecturally at
tractlve, handsomely decorated with
Chinese lanterns pendant from The chan
deliers. The stage has not yet been
built, and platform was improvised for
the occasion. 1t was the first time that
the hall had been used for any public
gathering, and the singers and those who
spoke pronounced 1t admirably adapted
for concert purposes. Committees or
young men from the association assisted
the ladies as ushers and in serving re-
fres hments.
The concert programme was admirably
arranged, and included some of the best
musical talent in the city.
The opening number was an instrument
tai piano solo, 1.-The Storm" by MIR.
Frank Keilbach. MIR. Richardson fol-
lowed with very effective recitation.
Mrs. Wade sang "When," and Master
Eddie Connor played a selected violin
solo. A quintette, "Moonlight Dance"
by Mrs. Wade, Mrs. GusUln, Miss Gross.
and Messrs. FriersOu and Readlck COM
pleted the first part of the programme.
Misses Gross played an instrumental
piano duet, 1.-The Witches Dance" in
opening the second part, and we're fol-
lowed by MIR. L. f. Collins with charac-
ter song "Beni amin Bins" in which he
appeared clad as ghost. Mr.. King gave
trombone solo and Mr.. j. Fl. Mosher
acclaimed very effectively spill Blood's
Leap" a story of Western life.
The concert ended with vocal solo,
"Ah, So Fair" by Mr.. Salas. Nearly
every number on the programme was en-
cored and was repeated. The accQmpani-
ments were played by Mr.. Frank kell-
bach, Mrs. Gustln and Miss Marie
lyman.
After the concert Rev. j. w. Rogan an
nounced the refreshment programme.
Tables were spread on the north side of
the hall, where a regular sup
per and lunches were served.
The arrangements, in view of the fact
that the hall is not yet furnished, were
very complete. Nearly every one after
the concert and refreshments, visited the
association parlors and reading rooms
and gymnasium on the second floor of
the building, and many were astonished
at the associations success since it
was organized less than year ago.
General Secretary Frater, the association
committees and the ladies' committee
were congratulated upon the success of
the entertainment.
The ladies' will be at the association
rooms between II and l O'Clock to-day
and will serve lunch for business men
who dine at 6 O'clock.

station in Port Royal harbor rapidly ap-
proaches completion. 1t is substantial
aud well built structure, $50 feet long by
80 feet wide. In addition so ample room

accommodation to vessels cruising in the
West Indies, which other wise would have
to seek navy yards further north for a
supply. Then many other vessels will

THE ORDINARY'S FEES.
Extract From the Grand Jury's De-
cember Presentment.

cember Presentment.
The following is an extract from the
presentment of the grand jury of the De-
eember term, made last week, in matter
OF the fees Of the Ordinary. 1t will be
seen that the grand jurors for. this term
differ in their opinion in regard to this
matter from their predecessors:
1--WE have also examined the books OF
the Ordinary of Chatham county and in
vestigated the question as to whether the
special fee bill allowed was excessive.
We find that the books of the Office are
kept in the most complete manner, and
that the neatness and eXacJneSs Of the
clerical labor is unusually good. We find
the system for ready reference is an evil
dence of administrative ability of the
Ordinary of unusual character, consider
ing the limited nature of the rooms occu-
pied by him.
1--WE also find that the fact that the fees
OF the Ordinary OF Chatham county
differing from the Code is not peculiar to
this county, but exists in other counties.
In contrasting the fees with the other
counties, and considering the cost
OF living in Savannah, we do not consider
them too large, as the net amount pro-
duced from this, after paying expenses is
only about $4,000 per annum, not too
large salary for so responsible an office
as that of Judge OF the Court of Ordinary,
AS less amount would not probably Sc
cure the services Of faithful and CON-
petent Otficer,''

CENTRAL'S QUEER ORDER.
GIVING UP TRAFFIC. TO THE
RICHMOND TERMINAL.

President Alex Instructions to
the Augusta and Knoxville in Regard
to Freight for the Columbia and
GreenvilIe-How the Order Is Con
strued in Augusta.
On Monday the officials of the Augusta
and Knoxville railroad at Augusta, under
instructions from headquarters here in
Savannah, stopped receiving freight for
points on the Columbia and Greenville
road. Heretofore most of the freight from
Augusta for points along the Greenville
and Columbia. especially between New
berry and Greenwood, has gone over the
Augusta and Knoxville line to Green
wood, where it was turned over to the
Columbia and Greenville, which carried
it to its destination.
The Central got a long haul and the
Richmond and Danvllle a short one. The
latter company can carry all freight from
Augusta via the Charlotte, Columbia and
Augusta over its own lines to points on
the Columbia and Greenville. This route
is roundabout way, and the Augusta
merchants complain that, as it takes
from twenty-fOur to forty-elght hours
longer for their freight to reach it's
destination, they are afraid that they will
lose the trade from that territory.
1t is learned here that the order was
issued at request made by the Rich
mond and West Point Terminal of Gen.
Alexander, President of the Central.
In Augusta the order is construed to
mean that the West Point Terminal con-
trolls the Central. The latter company
had the traffic in its own grasp, and if
Gen. Alexander voluntarily gave it up
the circumstance at least indicates that
the two great systems are on very AMIGA
bic terms. Gen. Alexander is in New
York and will be gone several days.
